RACE ace Dario Franchitti was honoured for his four IndyCar titles with a special plaque on the Walk of Fame at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, on Saturday.

The Bathgate-born star, who now lives in Tennessee with his actress wife Ashley Judd, had won the last three championships back to back but lost out to American Ryan Hunter-Reay in this year’s contest.

The organisers managed to put the brakes on the flying Scot long enough for him to press the plaque commemorating his 2005 win at the track into the cement.
